How Swede it is!

Swe­den House Soci­ety (SHS) is an umbrel­la organ­i­sa­tion for all Swedish net­works and asso­ci­a­tions in the Low­er Main­land. The main focus of SHS is to sup­port the main­te­nance and devel­op­ment of the Scan­di­na­vian Cen­tre in Burn­a­by, since many of the mem­ber groups activ­i­ties take place there. Its’ board coor­di­nates activ­i­ties and pool resources of its mem­ber groups. SHS also stream­lines com­mu­ni­ca­tions & col­lab­o­ra­tions with­in the Swedish com­mu­ni­ty in BC, and pro­vides schol­ar­ships to post-sec­ondary stu­dents with a Swedish con­nec­tion.

Through our unwa­ver­ing com­mit­ment to Swedish val­ues, we bring the unique cul­tur­al expe­ri­ence to life for every mem­ber through every ini­tia­tive.
